COMES Hubert

Hubert COMES was born in Koetschette; he was the son of a Schankwirth.
In 1907 he married Anna MERZIGER in Püttlingen (Saarland). Their first child was born in Püttlingen in 1907 but the second child was born in 1909 in Esch sur Alzette. The COMES family thus moved from Püttlingen to Esch sur Alzette around 1908. Comes set up a car garage service which he advertised in 1911 as follows:

Teile meiner geehrten Kundschaft und den HH. Autobesitzern ergebenst mit, daß ich eine größere und best eingerichtete Autogarage in der Elektrizitätsstraße errichtet habe.
Durch Einstellen von sachkundigen Leuten kann ich sämtliche vorkommenden Reparaturen, wie: Neulagern von Motoren, Schweißen von Cylindern, Löten von Aluminiumgehäusen u. s. w. unter Garantie und billigster Preisberechnung herstellen. …

In 1916 COMES, together with his brother-in-law Anton MERZIGER, obtained a patent in Austria. In 1919 the two inventors obtained a corresponding patent in France.
Anton MERZIGER (1887 – 1956) was Angestellter bei der Saar- und Mosel-Bergwerksgesellschaft Merlenbach.
In the French patent COMES’ place of residence is indicated as Germany. It is likely that COMES moved back with his family to Püttlingen after WW 1. His name, nor his garage services, can be retraced after 1919 in the Luxembourg press.
It is not known when and where he died.
